The Green Eyes of Bâst

The Green Eyes of Bâst is a Fiction Action and Adventure Story Book. The book tells that Good evening, sir. A bit gusty? Very much so, sergeant, I replied. I think I will step into your hut for a moment and light my pipe if I may. Certainly sir. Matches are too scarce nowadays to take risks with 'em. But it looks as if the storm had blown over. I'm not sorry, said I, entering the little hut like a sentry-box which stands at the entrance to this old village high street for accommodation of the officer on point duty at that spot. I have a longish walk before me.
